Hey Ww'ers. I am looking at getting a web based PM software package for project management and wondering if any of you guys are currently using them or have experience. We run typically 50-80 projects a month and would like a better system to keep track of all the details and handle scheduling and such. I have many systems in place now to handle these things, but looking to pull it all into one solution.

The Clarity that I'm referring to above is CA Clarity Project and Portfolio Management (PPM). The tool also has the ability to manage programs and portfolios, and works well in an enterprise environment. Might not be the best solution if using it on a smaller scale but worth looking into.

Buffalow- We too use multiple systems (Prolog/MS Project/Excel/etc). You might look into CMIC. Wife's company has been with CMIC for a while and it seems like a good turn key option. FYI- it is quite an investment. PM me or on FB if you want more info.

one of my clients use Asana, another client uses JIRA and another uses Salesforce. Asana and Jira seem to really support a task/ticket based approach, great for iterative/lean/scrum based development, as those clients are doing software development. Salesforce was good for a process/waterfall approach, at least how that client has it configured since they do software implementations at customer sites (professional services).

after reading your post again, based on your volume, salesforce seems best of the 3 I've worked with. It handles large volume well and provides great reporting and data visualization on your projects. We still had to pair it with excel or the likes to really handle resource/employee scheduling across multiple projects. The department usually had 50 projects and each employee was working on 10 projects at a time, in teams of 4-6. Salesforce would allow you to quickly view the pipeline, see how many projects were in each phase, how long each phase was taking, predict bottle necks, like to many projects hitting design at the same time, etc.. It also assisted in the transition of sales projects to professional services projects.

Just an advice! I find data too much exposed if it is placed in a web server/software. That is why we use a desktop project management software called Latitude and had it placed inside our secured server. We use it for project planning, scheduling and monitoring. It has modules for timesheets, client-project tracking, gantt charts, tasks/subtasks, equipment, quotes, invoices and reports, which are linked with one another, making things easier to trace.
